There was no shortage of food and drink in the popular meal, about 150 people gathered at the round table. After lunch, some of the teams could win by betting and others could not miss dancing polka, fandango and rounds in the trick’s melody.

Before the bertsolaris get on the stage, the tuning of the intergrid, the anime banners hanging on the walls and a tiny nervous smile. All set for the grand finale, as soon as the voices of the presenter Oier Suarez were heard, 11 verses of friends, Erreralekor Birizik, took to the stage! Members of the Atenán Bilobak groups of Rotrio and Ibábe.

Spontaneous verses

The program began in the small octave, we heard beautiful specimens of Manex who never carried umbrellas, being under the rain of Sabin.Then the neutral bertsolari Rubén Sánchez put the verses to the three cartoons in the background. Then, unofficially in the short six, Maddi and Unai traveled in the van. The scoring session continued in response to the point. In the melody of Nortagirre she put the themes in the female role in the March 8 maniac, in the most retired and/or in the role of the peasants of the Llanada where the AVE will pass. All the teams that were punctuated before the prison job.

Although we thought that the cold would also freeze the words, the work in the prison, the oldest rags and the most picturesque secrets of the family, warmed the atmosphere as the bertsolaris poured wine through the throat back at the table. The co-plaque was accompanied by Irati Axpe and Maialen Ballina.

It was time to listen to the decision of the members of the sentencing table, the Grandchildren of Berta of Ibab triumphant over the inter-Cuadrilla verse of 2018.

Multiple awards as well

Without gifts and souvenirs, this year’s edition could not end either, with representatives of women who dedicate themselves to different fields in the Alava verse giving prizes, distributing to participating groups, both spontaneous and written, a lobster and/or bag of products made in araba. The finalist bertsolaris also received a photo of the Cuadrillarte as a souvenir and the winning bertsolaris Manex Agirre, Andere Arriolabengoa and Xabi Igoa each received a beech: The new buds will blossom because the roots of the Alava versiculture are taking root.

The weather did not allow much time to stretch the colorful t-shirt between the squares, perhaps in 2020 it was necessary to design thermal or raincoats...
